National Stearman Fly-In - Day 2

Bob Matthews, a pilot for American Airlines, says trips he flies to destinations in Europe and South America that take nine hours are not unusual. The flight from his home in Poplar Grove, IL, to Galesburg, IL, to attend the National Stearman Fly-In is much shorter -- just one hour, 15 minutes -- and a lot more fun, he says.
